Well yes and no. The problem last year is that there was no recourse one the call was made. Now, at least in theory, if such a terrible (non) call happened again, it can be reviewed. The problem is that the review can still be screwed up, ending in the same result as if there was no rule.

My opinion is that it's better to have a chance to have it looked at than not. However, as I posted in the Spring, I would not have made it part of the regular review process because coaches are going to be throwing flags every game as pass interference is one of the penalties that does the most damage.
So on both sides, coaches are going to want to minimize the impact of PI right or wrong.

I would have added a flag that can only be thrown once per season. So instead of throwing flags all the time, coaches would hold that flag until the most impactful or desperate moment to use it, like last year.

We will see I guess.
